}
(2) (since C++20)
1) A range adaptor consisting of elements of the underlying sequence, skipping the first N elements.
2) The expression views::drop(E,F) is expression-equivalent to (where T is std::remove_cvref_t<decltype((E))> and D is ranges::range_difference_t<decltype((E))>):
  • std::span where T::extent == std::dynamic_extent,
  • std::basic_string_view,
  • ranges::iota_view, or
  • ranges::subrange;
  • otherwise, drop_view{E, F}.
In all cases, decltype((F)) must model std::convertible_to<D>.

drop_view models the concepts contiguous_range, random_access_range, bidirectional_range, forward_range, input_range, common_range, and sized_range when the underlying view V models respective concepts.

Expression-equivalent

Expression e is expression-equivalent to expression f, if e and f have the same effects, either are both potentially-throwing or are both not potentially-throwing (i.e. noexcept(e) == noexcept(f)), and either are both constant subexpressions or are both not constant subexpressions.

Member functions

constructs a drop_view
(public member function)
returns a copy of the underlying (adapted) view
(public member function)
returns an iterator to the beginning
(public member function)
returns an iterator or a sentinel to the end
(public member function)
returns the number of elements. Provided only if the underlying (adapted) range satisfies sized_range
(public member function)

Example

#include <ranges>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::vector nums = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 };
 
    for (int i : nums | std::views::drop(2))
        std::cout << i << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
 
    for (int i : std::views::iota(1, 10) | std::views::drop(2))
        std::cout << i << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
 
    for (int i : std::ranges::drop_view{nums, 2})
        std::cout << i << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

3 4 5 6 7 8 9 
3 4 5 6 7 8 9 
3 4 5 6 7 8 9
